Research on international student issues

We conduct occasional pieces of research such as surveys of international students’ experiences and of institutional support services, many of which result in reports which you can download from the publications section of our website. Recent reports include:

• International student services in colleges and universities 2010-11:
  a benchmarking survey (April 2011)
• Tier 4: students' experiences surveys (December 2009 and March 2010)

Other research on international students

You can find other relevant research via the following links:

• The UKCISA/Higher Education Academy Teaching International Students project, funded by the Prime Minister's Initiative for International Education includes an extensive resource bank on teaching and learning issues relating to international students, including research articles.
• The Database for Research into International Education - a searchable database hosted by IDP, Australia's main international education body, containing details of over thousands of books, articles, conference papers and reports on various aspects of international education from publishers in Australia and abroad from 1990 onwards.
• The Journal of Studies in International Education (JSIE) is the official journal of the Association for Studies in International Education (ASIE). The ASIE is an inter-organizational body whose mission is to encourage serious research dealing with international education and academic mobility, to stimulate interest in such work (both in the international education community and in academic circles in general), and to develop and promote ways to disseminate this work in an effective format. Through the Journal of Studies in International Education, readers are challenged to consider how international education, cooperation, and exchange will influence and be influenced by an increasingly transnational world. Individuals in the UK can subscribe cheaply to the JSIE through the British Council.
